Reading and Displaying images from mongoDB using G

问题:

I have been able to successfully upload images to mongoDB using GridFs. Below are images from my database:

fs.files:

fs.chunks:

Below is the code I used to upload images:

var Grid = require('gridfs-stream');
var mongoose = require("mongoose");
Grid.mongo = mongoose.mongo;
var gfs = new Grid(mongoose.connection.db);

app.post('/picture', function(req, res) {
 var part = req.files.filefield;

            var writeStream = gfs.createWriteStream({
                filename: part.name,
                mode: 'w',
                content_type:part.mimetype
            });


            writeStream.on('close', function() {
                 return res.status(200).send({
                    message: 'Success'
                });
            });

            writeStream.write(part.name);

            writeStream.end();
   });

The Issue:

I can't seem to figure out how to read this image from mongoDB and display it on the front end in a HTML <img> tag.

I have tried this so far but it only displays the name of the file:

app.get('/picture', function(req, res) {


gfs.files.find({ filename: 'trooper.jpeg' }).toArray(function (err, files) {

    if(files.length===0){
        return res.status(400).send({
            message: 'File not found'
        });
    }

    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': files[0].contentType});

    var readstream = gfs.createReadStream({
          filename: files[0].filename
    });

    readstream.on('data', function(chunk) {
        res.write(chunk);
    });

    readstream.on('end', function() {
        res.end();        
    });

    readstream.on('error', function (err) {
      console.log('An error occurred!', err);
      throw err;
    });
  });
});

I have taken the code above from here

Can anyone please help. Ive been stuck on this for DAYS!!!!

回答1:

It should really be

writeStream.write(part.data);

not

writeStream.write(part.name);
